Disclaimer:This folder contains a collection of findings regarding the activities of various people and organizations. The data is based on information that was available at the time the research was performed.

We clarify that even though vast efforts were put into the editing work, it is possible that there may be additional sources which might have been able to affect the results of the research and which did not make it into our pos-session. In order for the material in this booklet to be exact, we are grateful to anyone who has in their posses-sion additional information which they can bring to our attention. If changes are required as a result of informa-tion received, we will take care to update you with all possible speed and attempt to inform those who have been exposed to the previous information.

All the names of donors and grants were taken directly from the official website of the Israeli Registrar of Amutot (Non-Profit Associations), and/or the financial reports of the American organization, the “New Israel Fund (NIF)”, and/or the Palestinian foundation “The Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat”, and no change was made to the information. The data from the website of the Israeli Registrar of Amutot (Non-Profit Associations) is available to the general public only from 2012 and onwards, therefore it should be taken into account that foreign government entities have been funding the Foreign Agents for many years with millions of dollars that have not been recorded in this document.

It is likely that there are Foreign Agent organizations that reported only a part of the support which they receive from foreign government entities. In addition, there a number of Foreign Agent organizations that are frequently supported by foreign governments and that have not filed the reports as required by law. Anyone who has fur-ther or additional information that does not appear in this booklet is invited to contact us on the matter and we will take steps to update this with all possible speed.

“Support of a political entity by a government is something that should have frightened any person

who believes in real democracy.” Meir Shamgar, Former President, Israeli Supreme Court

“Foreign Agents” is the name of the 2015 research re-port published by the “Im Tirtzu” movement, examining and summarizing a report on 20 Israeli organizations perceived by the Israeli public as “left wing organiza-tions” or as “human rights organizations”. The findings show that, in reality, they are neither the former nor the latter, but in actuality are Foreign Agent organizations.

We are dealing with politically-motivated propaganda organizations operating from within Israel (with the help of vast amounts of foreign funding) against Israeli soci-ety, IDF soldiers, and the state’s ability to defend itself in its ongoing war on terror. The common denominator shared by the overwhelming majority of these organi-zations - apart from European funding - is the financial and operational backing provided by the US-based New Israel Fund (NIF).

Some of the organizations even receive hundreds of thousands of dollars from Palestinian foundations. Of the 20 Foreign Agent organizations examined, 17 are supported by the New Israel Fund and 4 organizations legally defended terrorists or the families of terrorists, some of whom attacked Jews in this most recent wave of terror. Four of the organizations benefit from 15 Na-tional Service positions. In the Jewish state of 2015, one can perform National Service in a Foreign Agent orga-nization defending terrorists, filing charges against sol-diers or defaming Israel at the United Nations with the claim that Israel is an Apartheid state.

The “Association for Civil Rights in Israel”, for example, which has National Service positions, is supported by a Palestinian foundation based in Ramallah that goes by the name of the “Human Rights and International Hu-manitarian Law Secretariat” (which recently provided another $50,000 to the organization). The “Association for Civil Rights in Israel” assisted the terrorists Subhi Abu Khalifa and Shuruk Dawiyat, who stabbed Jews in the most recent wave of terror. The Association is working towards restoring academic studies for terrorists in Is-raeli prisons, and was a part of a coalition of organiza-tions working in the Israeli Supreme Court on behalf of

Shawan Jabarin, an activist in the “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” (PFLP).

“Physicians for Human Rights – Israel” (also supported by the Ramallah foundation) campaign across the globe accusing the IDF of “torturing and abusing Palestinians” and committing war crimes. They also are working to cease the IDF’s practice of targeted killings. In the past, they provided joint sponsorship of an exhibition which presented descriptions of IDF soldiers supposedly shooting Palestinian civilians and others. “Rabbis for Human Rights” is also supported by the same founda-tion located in Ramallah, as are the “Public Committee Against Torture in Israel”, “HaMoked: Center for the De-fence of the Individual” and others.

“B’Tselem”, which benefits from hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from foreign political foundations, also benefits from National Service positions. The same Foreign Agent organization frequently appears in the world media in order to accuse Israel of committing war crimes.

“Adalah” represents, along with another Palestinian or-ganization (Al-Dameer), the family of terrorist Fadi Alon who stabbed a Jewish minor in Jerusalem this past Oc-tober, and also works against the revoking of citizenship of terrorists from East Jerusalem, and from its very foun-dations actively opposes the Jewish nature of the State of Israel. It is considered a flagship organization of the New Israel Fund, and of course also benefits from hun-dreds of thousands of dollars arriving from Ramallah and from Europe.

Recently, the Israeli Supreme Court turned down no less than seven appeals filed by the Foreign Agent organi-zation, “HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Indi-vidual”, on behalf of terrorists. Appeals that wished to prevent the destruction of the houses of terrorist mur-derers. For example, the destruction of the houses of the murderers of Danny Gonen, Malachi Rosenfeld and the couple Na’ama and Eitam Henkin. In 2014, “HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual” filed appeals

against the destruction of the house of the murderer of Police Chief Superintendent Baruch Mizrahi. This appeal was turned down as well.

“Breaking the Silence”, following Operation “Protective Edge”, published a booklet of “testimonies” of combat soldiers in which they alleged that the Israel Defense Forces committed war crimes. For the production of the report the Palestinian organization “Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat” paid up front approximately $300,000. Hamas used some of those same “testimonies” when it called on the United Nations to investigate the Israel Defense Forces of hav-ing committed war crimes. The “Breaking the Silence” website states that “Breaking the Silence is an organi-zation of veteran combatants who have served in the Israeli military since the start of the Second Intifada and have taken it upon themselves to expose the Israe-li public to the reality of everyday life in the Occupied Territories.”

If the State of Israel wishes to continue to exist as an independent, Jewish and democratic state, it will have no choice left but to dismantle those propaganda orga-nizations working from within Israel and supported by foreign funding. The State of Israel needs also to block the financial flotilla provided to these organizations by the New Israel Fund, which, as demonstrated in the fol-lowing pages, plays a central role in funding and sup-porting a multitude of organizations acting against the State and endangering the lives of Israel’s citizenry and security forces.

“Since we began supporting these programs, some sig-nificant changes have been made in the Israeli justice system, both civilian and military, and in the decisions they make. They have also raised a significant debate about these matters, and we believe these activities will strengthen democracy in Israel.”

The quote comes from an official British Foreign Office document revealed in the Makor Rishon newspaper.

Appendix:

Excerpts from the Annual Report by “The Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretariat”, published in 2015162:

· “Breaking the Silence (BTS) presented a unique proposal for emergency funding whereby BTS attempted to interview (collect testimonies) from Israeli soldiers who were engaged in the war. BTS were very cautious about how effective their work would be at the peak of the conflict. At first, they were not even sure they would be able to interview soldiers or even feel safe to issue testimonies. The Secretariat was ready to accept even one testimony. Over the course of this project, BTS collected 57 testimonies from soldiers who were engaged in the war, which in itself was a huge success for this project. The testimonies collected are from a wide range of units who participated in the war from the Israeli Air Force, Navy and ground-troops. Early investigation teams also succeeded in reaching Israeli soldiers and officers who were based in headquarters and command centres in different brigades, the Gaza division and other control rooms… As part of the core funding support of the Secretariat, BTS is planning to address these issues in a public advocacy campaign which will be launched locally and internationally following the release of the report… The campaign will include: Publication material in English and Hebrew; Testifiers press conference; New/social media activities surrounding the findings of the investigation locally and internationally; Advocacy tours to Europe and the U.S. to meet with decision makers, parliament members, diplomats, Jewish public figures, media and civil society in order to disseminate the findings of the investigation.

· BTS reported that they have witnessed a small but significant shift in the opinion of liberal Jewish communities in the U.S. regarding the Israeli army’s policies in Gaza and the occupation as a whole.

· Several core partners (Adalah, Al Mezan, B’tselem, PWWSD, Yesh Din, WCLAC, WAC, Breaking the Silence) trained journalists to be able to serve the media as HR analysts and media and communication staff on good practice in campaign management and on HR/IHL in order to use the HR vocabulary correctly when describing the HR situation in the oPt [Occupied Palestinian Territories].

· 17 cases filed by HaMoked regarding house demolitions reached Israeli courts.

· Adalah filed 14 complaints with Al Mezan to Israeli authorities to demand the opening of independent criminal investigations into suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity by the military. In September, the Israeli Military Advocate General (MAG) announced that he would open investigations into two of the cases filed: 1) the targeting and killing of four children on a beach in Gaza; and 2) an attack on an UNRWA school resulting in killings of civilians in a safe haven. Adalah is continuing to follow-up other complaints.

· PCHR’s [Palestinian Center for Human Rights] legal unit succeeded in helping five prisoners to get released from Israeli jails.

· Also, 59 prisoners from the Gaza Strip received legal aid.
